- Sound can extinguish flame. Useful piece of information in case there is a fire and no water around :P From the article: Plaks speculates that the pressure drop created by the sound wave was what extinguished the flame. Gary Ruff, project manager for fire suppression technologies at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, agrees: if the difference between the high-pressure peak and low-pressure trough in the sound wave was large enough, the flame would go out.

- The energy from vibrating objects, such as speaker membranes, moves from particle to particle in the air in a repeating pattern of high- and low-pressure zones that we perceive as sound.

- A simple way to extinguish fire - just play your favorite music on it. Scientists still don't know why this happens. The plan for now is to use this in spacecrafts. The main problem is that it requires electricity and you also need to see the fire. Also it is not clear how loud the music should be to be effective against a flame bigger than a candle.

- ; Fire ??? No need to panic go turn on your music player From the Page >>> "I throw more power into my voice, and now the flame is extinguished," wrote Irish scientist John Tyndall about his experiments with sound and fire in 1857. Countless public demonstrations and a handful of lab tests later, researchers are still struggling to determine exactly how sound snuffs flames.Read On.
